Chapter 103: Liquor Fire Sword Song
In a quiet room in a small courtyard in the Demon Vanquishing Hall, Jiang Li, who was meditating cross-legged, suddenly stopped cultivating.
After the temporary group dance of the mayfly ended, the parallel mind brought his experiences back to Jiang Li’s mind.
From the moment it broke free from the safe and comfortable soil, to emerging from the water surface, to the transformation from a pupa, to the happiest day of its life, and finally when it died peacefully.
The day of the mayfly’s life was also a lifetime. From its point of view, although it was not exciting, it was definitely fulfilling.
It was different from the research records of humans.
From the perspective of the mayfly, it did not actually have any thoughts. It only knew from instinct that it wanted to do this, that it should do this, and then it would do everything it could.
Growth, metamorphosis, emergence, reproduction, death, and reincarnation. These were all the processes of the tiny mayfly’s cycle of life.
After experiencing this once more in his mind, Jiang Li sighed while his mood was inexplicably slightly depressed. He did not know if he had comprehended anything.
However, when he opened his eyes again, everything became exceptionally clear.
It was not that his vision had improved, but that he felt as if the world had lifted a veil over him, revealing more of its beauty and secrets.
He opened the status bar and saw that his Mind and Enlightenment attributes had actually increased by a whole point each.
How… How exaggerated!
After all, Jiang Li had been cultivating Qi Refinement for so long, and his other attributes had been growing all the way. However, in terms of Mind and Enlightenment, he had always been progressing slowly.
This was especially true for his Enlightenment attribute. Apart from the two points provided by the Focused Spirit status, the number had not changed at all.
However, it had only been a day since he had started cultivating the ‘Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra’, yet he had already achieved such a tremendous improvement.
In theory, not to mention a mere mayfly, even if he were to absorb the Mind attribute of a hundred or a thousand mayflies collectively, he would not be able to obtain such growth.
However, just as he had said before, this cultivation method emphasized on one word, comprehension.
Even though this was the first time Jiang Li had ‘observed the ways of the world’, so it was natural that he comprehend a lot, it was sufficient to prove how powerful this Heart Sutra was.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and released himself from the emotions of “dying once”.
Only then did he circulate the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra and form a new parallel mind.
With his first experience, Jiang Li did not make any mistakes this time, especially after his Mind and Enlightenment had been improved, his circulation of the cultivation method became even more smooth and natural.
[Parallel Mind Level 1: Second consciousness active. Duration: 26 hours] (− +)
The duration of the parallel mind had also increased.
Of course, this was actually not very useful.
Jiang Li pressed the plus button for five seconds, causing the duration of the parallel mind to become infinite.
He opened the coffin and controlled the sword cultivator zombie to crawl out. Only then did Jiang Li activate the skill, Mayfly’s Dream, again and send his parallel mind into the zombie’s body.
Five Senses Technique? There was no need for it.
Zombie Puppet Technique? It was irrelevant now.
When his parallel mind entered the body, it practically had an effect that was even more exaggerated than reincarnation.
The eyes of the Sword Cultivator slowly showed the spirituality that only living people had.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sword cultivator and Jiang Li revealed identical expressions of pleasant surprise at the same time. Their palms touched their chests, and the heart within actually started to beat energetically again.
The cold body gradually recovered its temperature, and his pale skin quickly regained its color.
Jiang Li went up and touched it. Unlike the stiffness before, the body of the sword cultivator now had vitality and flexibility.
After retracting the parallel mind, this temporary “resurrection” would disappear.
However, at the very least, through his parallel mind, Jiang Li could clearly sense that “he” was alive.
Unexpectedly, the Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra had such an effect.
No, it should be said that such an effect was normal.
For example, among the legendary deities and Buddhas that he knew in his previous life, most of their essence souls would use corpses to resurrect.
There were very few cases of them forcefully taking over a living person’s body. Those who did that were basically all evil beings.
Jiang Li guessed that the Goddess of Mercy was a Buddhist eminence to begin with. At the very least, in public opinion, these beings were particular about cutting off their flesh to feed the eagle and the tiger. They were also known as “benevolent”.
If their major cultivation method could only seize the lives of others, then it would be too demonic.
So, they often used the dead to continue their lives.
Even if they were reincarnated, they would basically be reincarnated into the bodies of dead fetuses.
In that case, letting the sword cultivator’s corpse revive temporarily was the basic operation.
As the body temperature rose, some of the remaining memories in the Sword Cultivator’s brain surfaced bit by bit.
There were some voices, some images, and some words… They were chaotic and incomplete.
“Tang… Yan.”
The parallel mind uttered these two words.
So this person was originally called Tang Yan?
Jiang Li nodded secretly. Perhaps he could investigate the life of this sword cultivator, Tang Yan, through the outside world.
He continued to sort out more things, but after all, it was a brain that had been dead for months. There were very few things left.
Apart from a large number of fragmented memories that could not be pieced together, in this brain, there were only two things that left the deepest impression that were still intact.
First, it was the name Tang Yan.
Second, it was a fire element sword cultivation method called “Liquor Fire Sword Song”.
The parallel mind sat down cross-legged and tried to cultivate according to the cultivation method in his memory to familiarize himself with the Dao Foundation that had been preserved in this body.
Under the continuous infusion of Jiang Li’s spiritual qi, it was equivalent to his clone holding a high-grade spirit stone and absorbing it constantly to aid in his cultivation.
This sort of treatment, even if he was a Shu Mountain disciple, could not be enjoyed by just anyone.
Swoosh!
Soon, the Fire Dao Foundation was activated again. A scorching aura spread out from Tang Yan’s body, causing the temperature in the sealed room to rise rapidly.
“Liquor.”
Jiang Li sensed the request of his clone, and it just happened that there were a few bottles of good wine in the coffin sent by the outer sect disciples.
He took one out of the coffin and threw it over.
The clone Tang Yan did not even open his eyes as he directly stretched out his hand to grab the wine jar. The clone and his main body’s consciousness were completely connected. If Jiang Li saw it, it was equivalent to him seeing it.
Slamming the seal, the clone grabbed the mouth of the jar and drank it.
The strong smell of alcohol filled the air. Soon, the skin of Tang Yan turned red and hot, and an even hotter aura spread out.
Jiang Li who stood before his clone could not help but take two steps back. If he got too close, then perhaps he would be fine, but his clothes would burn.
With his combat style as a body cultivator who loved to tear his clothes, the expenditure of his disciple uniform was very rapid. He had to be a little careful.
However, to be able to reveal such an aura while cultivating, the power of Foundation Establishment cultivators was undoubtedly amazing.
Jiang Li, on the other hand, marveled at the strong smell of alcohol.
The legacy of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak was interesting. The sword cultivators of Tang Yan’s faction all drank heavily. They cultivated qi and alcohol together. When the liquor fire sword technique was used, the power was abnormally shocking. Even among the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, this was quite famous.
